Unreported Sales Tax to CDTFA

Service Overview

Under-Reported Sales Tax Is Easier to Detect Than Owners Think

The CDTFA cross-checks reported sales against income tax returns, 1099-K data, supplier records, and industry markup ratios, and runs markup and observation audits to estimate true taxable sales in cash-heavy businesses. When reported sales tax looks low, the CDTFA can assess additional tax — often on an estimated basis that runs high without a proper defense.

How Its Work

How We Help

We reconstruct actual taxable sales from your records, quantify the correct liability, and correct it through amended returns or the appropriate CDTFA disclosure channel — before an estimated audit does it for you — coordinating the IRS and FTB exposure since unreported sales often signal unreported income.

We advise confidentially and make no guarantees, but correcting on your terms beats an estimated determination.
